  Apryl replied to the topic 12 V External Power and Serial Viewer in the forum Infrastructure and Equipment 1 years ago

  So, if I understand correctly, I should be able to use the USBC to Serial (CP2102N Friend, oriented properly)  via the FTDI port to upload sketches as well as access the serial monitor with the 12V to 5V DC converter plugged into the Mayfly’s USBC port (for the sensors that require 12V), but the DIP switch for the USBC on board chip needs to be…[Read more]

  The Mayfly 1.1 is great for powering options – but it does mean understanding the tradeoffs.

  For an FTDI cable,  for debug monitoring of the Mayfly this is what I do – https://github.com/neilh10/ModularSensors/wiki/Test-Equipment-FTDI-cable

  I also cut some pins to make it a “monitoring cable” that won’t cause a reset when the USB is plugged in.…[Read more]

  You are correct, if you’re using the USB jack to power a v1.0 or v1.1 Mayfly using a 12v source, then there’s no way to interface the Mayfly with a PC for programming or viewing serial output.  However, all Mayfly boards include an FTDI jack that allows you to connect a variety of FTDI cables or adapters in order to communicate with the board in…[Read more]

  I feel like there should be a simple solution to this, but I haven’t stumbled upon it yet.  The 1.1 version of the Mayfly board now needs a DC converter connected to the USB C port in order to have 12V external power.  When connected this way, everything seems to work.  However, I can no longer access the terminal viewer while the converter is co…[Read more]

  Shannon Hicks replied to the topic 2022 EnviroDIY Hardware Status and Availability in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 1 years, 1 months ago

  It’s still in the prototype and testing phase, but the good news is the the chips that were unavailable for the past 18 months are finally available again.  If you or anyone else have specific RS485 sensors that you’re hoping to use, it would be helpful if you email me at mayfly@envirodiy.org with your sensor model information so we can make sure…[Read more]

  Any update on when the RS485 adapter will be available?  Or possible alternatives?  Thx.
